The owners of the Los Angeles home where actress Marilyn Monroe lived before her death and where her body was discovered have filed to demolish the $8.3 million bungalow. The city gave a green light for investigators to check the plan for demolition, but a formal permit has yet to be granted. Monroe purchased the hacienda-style bungalow in February 1962 for $77,500 ($790,000 today). Her body was discovered just 6 months later on August 5th. The most recent owners of the 2,900-square-foot home have not disclosed the reason behind their desire to demo the home. The home was originally built in 1929 and has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the upscale neighborhood of Brentwood. The home boasts beamed ceilings, terracotta tile floors, casement windows, and a large yard with a pool and a citrus orchard. An oddly fitting message on the home's front door reads Cursum Perficio, Latin for "My Journey Ends Here.”
